Like all the games, Pokémon Shuffle features a variety of Pokémon to be captured. There's an ever-increasing amount of Pokémon available within this game, including multiple forms of the Pokémon, and their Mega Evolution.

Each Pokémon has got just one type, which is used to determine both its attacks, and the types it is weak to when challenged in a Battle. They also have specific Attack strength, as well as some Pokémon having specific abilities.
